Yes, poor old Ramesh Ponnuru, whom I have sneered at ever since the Era of Trump began as the Toadie of Toadies, the Toadeater of Toadeaters, the anti anti Trumper of anti anti Trumpers, the man who was never without a “what about”, who always found a way to ingratiate himself with the True Trumpers…

Is Ron DeSantis inevitable? Well, maybe.
The National Review can’t get enough of Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and it’s easy to see why: DeSantis drooler in chief Rich Lowry’s review of DeSantis’ bad boy with a Harvard sheen swagger bears the following subhead: “A glimpse at what Trumpism without Trump can look like.” Okay, to some of us that can…
“Thoughtful” Trumpers have a new gambit: Pragmatism!
Yeah, sure, that’s the ticket. Appeal to the ululating Republican masses with, you know, bloodless calculation! Because nothing gratifies a feral, nihilistic bloodlust like, you know, reason! That’s the latest, and perhaps most pathetic, stunt attempted by National Review dudes David Bahnsen and Rich Lowry, among other soulless cowards, to reap the rewards of Donald…
Is Donald Trump making some Republicans “smarter”? Well, if by “some” you mean “two or three”, you may be on to something!
Okay, I don’t want to go out on a limb here, but I do detect a few signs of intelligence on the “right”, largely prompted by disgust over Trump’s hysterical reaction to his defeat and, even more, his clear willingness to overturn the results of the election by having state legislatures appoint their own electors…
Rich Lowry, last seen grabbing his ankles like a man
You know what is like rape? Rape is like rape: when it’s inevitable, you might as well bend over and enjoy it. Such is the gist and giblets of Rich Lowry’s recent post over at the National Review, “The Never Trump Delusion”, informing his principled peers that anal rape is the better part of valor—though…
Which is worse, kissing a fourteen-year-old girl or torture?
Roy Moore, the kissin’ judge, seems to be just about the limit for a lot of people, everyone from the reptilian Mitch McConnell—“I believe the women”—to compassionate libertarian Nick Gillespie—“Roy Moore and the End of Republican Credibility”—not to mention one-time Republican hitman Rich Lowry—"He can’t quite bring himself to deny dating underage girls”. Of course,…
I suppose if Trump is really, really guilty he should shoot him?
The National Review’s Rich “Ice Pick” Lowry “explains” that Trump shouldn’t fire special prosecutor Robert Mueller unless he (Trump, that is) is guilty. “If he’s not guilty, firing Mueller out of pique or political calculation would simply be a catastrophic misjudgment, one that would put his presidency at risk.”
I cannot keep silent! Part Deux
This not talking shit is hard! Yesterday, I couldn’t/wouldn’t keep silent about some year-old bullshit from David Ignatius. Well, today it’s the National Review’s Rich Lowry, opining about General Trump’s plans to reignite the war in Afghanistan: “At the end of the day, this is Trump concluding that he doesn’t want to lose a war…
You have to talk to those people in a language they can understand—that is to say, Spanish
“The message has been received that President Trump is, to coin a phrase, a bad hombre,” the ethically and ethnically challenged Rich Lowry informs us, gloating over the decline in illegal border crossings since the advent of Herr Donald. Granted, Trump’s wild and vicious threats during the campaign—to build a “great wall” and force Mexico…
Rich Lowry, headed for the last round up
The Donald’s “new” immigration plan is “detailed and substantive,” Rich Lowry tells us at Politico: “If we aren’t going to have a sweeping amnesty or tolerate the status quo, illegal immigrants must be subject to deportation. All of them don’t have to be rounded up, as Trump ridiculously advocated in the primaries.” No, we won’t…
